It’s almost a week since my course at #neuromatch ended and it was 🔥 Learned so much about #compneuro and modelling and I had a lot of fun. I still wanted to say thanks to NMA, my amazing TAs and pod for making it such a great experience! 🧠🚀🧮

New #preprint by Aaron Spieler et al. on ELM (Expressive Leaky #Memory) neurons, a biologically inspired cortical #neuronmodel, showing promise in solving long-horizon tasks (complex computations) with remarkable efficiency.

Charles Micou & Timothy O'Leary discover that representational drift in #neuralactivity and physiological changes, observed over extended periods, suggests the continuous application of a #learningrule at the #cellular and #populationlevel. This phenomenon serves as a measurable signal to uncover system-level properties of biological #plasticity mechanisms, such as precision and effective #learningrates.

A fully-funded, three-year postdoctoral position in theoretical neuroscience is now available at Bocconi University's Department of Computing Sciences in Milan, Italy. The postdoctoral researcher will have the chance to explore various research topics, such as movement modulation of visual responses in mice, integrating connectomes in mechanistic models of brain functions, and building normative models of neural representations, among others. The research will utilize cutting-edge approaches from statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, and machine learning, and will be informed by the latest electrophysiological and connectomic data. Prior experience with computational neuroscience is a plus, but it is not required.

The postdoc will have the opportunity to become a part of the thriving neuroscience, machine learning, and computer science communities at Bocconi University. To learn more about these communities, please visit https://cs.unibocconi.eu/ and https://bidsa.unibocconi.eu/. The postdoc will be a member of the NSF-funded Accelnet consortium "International network for brain-inspired computation," facilitating international collaborations between a large network of computational neuroscience/AI labs. At Bocconi University, we are committed to fostering a diverse intellectual community and encourage individuals from underrepresented groups to apply for these positions.

Applicants should apply via our on-line application system, which can be found at "www.unibocconi.eu/post-doc" (Publication nr. 65633) by 23:59 of April 17th, 2023 (Italian time).

Hi Fediverse,

I am interested the reach of this server and account - with the intent of improving it in the long run.

If you work in #neuroscience #compneuro #computationalneuroscience #informationtheory #InformationDecomposition #Bayesian stats and if you do see this, pls boost or reply.

Thank you!

Postdoc job in Bristol with Jeff Bowers, Ben Evans and me. We're going to look into how much learning you can do without modifying synaptic weights in spiking neurons. Likely important in the brain and relatively less studied theoretically.

If you like my neural heterogeneity paper (http://neural-reckoning.org/pub_heterogeneity.html) you'd probably like this project too.
